    Actually, your wrong. I was offered a job (which i turned down, long story) at PC World the other day, when i enquired about pay they said its by the hour. Turns out they ditched commission about a year ago because it promotes "bad sales practice" and an "unhealthy" working enviroment. They're new company focus is maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. The idea being that satisfied customers will buy more accessories (which all have a massive mark-up on them) to cover the tiny profit margin on PCs and Laptops.

    This is the reason i turned a job at PC World down. Either they're training is rubbish or their staff have a higher level of 'moral flexibility' than me. Either way, not the sort of thing i want to have on my CV.

    I've been told by the local GAME store that on no certain terms will the game be released before November 10th. Mind you, I did order the special (box) edition...
